WARNING:
Keep away from all hot surfaces of the blower. Failure to
do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
OPERATING THE BLOWER
See Figure .
 Slip arm through harness strap and onto shoulder, then
repeat for the other shoulder. Adjust the straps to a
comfortable position. Refer to Adjusting Harness Straps
earlier in this manual. Remove unit for starting.
 Start the blower. Refer to Starting and Stopping earlier
in this manual.
 Put on the blower again. The unit should be operated
from the right side as shown.
 To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer
edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center
of a pile.
 Operate power equipment at reasonable hours only
— not early in the morning or late at night when people
might be disturbed. Comply with the times listed in local
ordinances.
 To reduce sound levels, limit the number of pieces of
equipment used at any one time.
 Operate blower at the lowest possible throttle speed to
do the job.
 Check your equipment before operation, especially the
muffler, air intakes, and air filters.
 Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing.
In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water
is available.
 Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses
for many lawn and garden applications, including areas
such as gutters, screens, patios, grills, porches, and
gardens.
 Watch out for children, pets, open windows, or freshly
washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
OPERATION
 Use the wide sweeper nozzle for larger volume, so the
air stream can work close to the ground.
 After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP!
Dispose of debris properly.
CAUTION:
Do not place blower on top of or near loose debris.
Debris may be sucked into blower intake vent resulting
in possible damage to the unit.
